Activities

Saddle up and release your inner cowboy (or girl!). We have some of the gentlest, most well-mannered trail horses this side of the Mississippi, perfect for riders of all skill levels. Check out our Horse page to pick which noble steed you would prefer or allow us to be your personal horse match maker. Take a gander at our rider level key to determine your personal riding level. We do ride to your skill level, but we decide what that is. In addition, we have to ride to the lowest skill level in the group. All trail rides are private. You will not ride with other parties.

Requirements: 7 years or older (Pony Rides available for those under 7 yrs of age)

Weight Limit: 250 lb weight limit.Anyone over 225 lbs will have to ride a Belgian Mule. Our horses cannot carry more than 20% of their body weight which includes the saddle and rider. It is for the health of the horses and mules.

Summer Time: From Mid May thru Mid September we will only be doing one and two hour rides. If the temps are over 100 degrees, we will only have sunrise and sunset rides. We don't need you passing out on the horses.

Saddle up on one of our noble steeds and get a full dose of what it's like to be a cowboy. The cattle drive lasts two hours. In the first hour, you will traverse the land of the wild west and find our herd of cows hidden in their ample grazing pasture! It is not an easy task. Upon finding our cattle, you and your group will drive the herd from their pasture to our arena.

Then begins the second part of the cattle drive. During this part you will be broken up into teams. Each team will be given a cow skill level and the team will have to go into the herd and pull that one cow out and take it to the other end of the arena. You will be given four tries - easy, medium, hard and you get to decide the final skill level. Beginners are welcome. Yeehaw!

We have dummies galore, here at BBR! Learn to rope from a real, live cowboy or hone your skills. Featured as part of our Cowboy Games activity, sit upon an almost-real horse and see what it is like to rope a moving cow while riding horseback.
